So far, the year has been pretty grey in Nashville, and until the sun decides to once again grace us with its presence, we’ve been trying to come up with activities for a rainy day(s). Enter Play House Project 2013… We used cardboard boxes leftover from Christmas deliveries, and after a few swipes with the [...]

Our first Christmas together as a family of seven! (Mom, Dad, three kids, and two dogs). We spent a quiet Christmas Eve at home just being together. The shopping was done (thank you Internet!), and all that was left to do was put on our Christmas PJ’s and have some fun in the kitchen. We [...]

It’s been almost three years since I filled out my first guidebook from Leonie. Wow, how times have changed since then! Some of my goals that year were: 1) Deepen my yoga practice. 2) Spend more time with my parents. 3) Spend less time in front of the computer and more time with books. 4) [...]

Let’s talk donuts, shall we? Last week, CD and I took a quick trip to Colorado – two amazing days of hiking while the grandparents loved on all the kiddos. It was our first time away together since before Summer was born, and although we missed our babies, we had a wonderful time. Hiking in [...]

She turned two today, and we celebrated deep in the Hundred Acre Wood… After last year’s Hungry Caterpillar extravaganza, we decided to keep things simple with a small Winnie-the-Pooh party. So, our families and a couple of friends joined us for the festivities. It was perfect. Hunny pot party favors: Each guest received a pot [...]

I’ve been attending a mom’s group at a local church here in Nashville. We listen to a speaker, eat a yummy brunch, and then break out into smaller groups with an older mom serving as the group’s mentor. It’s nice to discuss mamahood with other women going through similar experiences. Motherhood fills me with much [...]
